Hello Wayne,

I live in the same country as you (Australia) and I own 4 Vectrex units
and the whole series of games. I live down in Tasmania. I know nothing
of electronics/engineering. I would recommend the following vectrex
homebrews though:

I, CYBORG
GRAVITREX
PROTECTOR
YASI.

All top quality games from dedicayed Vec programmers.

Regards,

Daniel.

Thanks Daniel

I know there is local Vectrex people in Cairns, because a number of the
units still turn up at the dumps recycling shop, pity they aren't here. I
was wondering if there is so many working Vectrex's that must be going to
land fill (from which they are worthless) is it worth put classified ads
in our local papers for anybody who knows of any Vectrex's to contact us,
give it way or sell it, rather than dump it?

Still, with the idea of a futuristic Vectrex game system (I shouldn't
mention this as there seems to be virtually nobody here and nobody seems
internested). In Asia you can contract manufacture things, I wonder if
there is enough of us to order a batch of units, with ongoing sales to new
users.

Where has everybody gone, are there some Vectrex Web forums everybody
hangs out at? It is a pity everybody has left news so much and left the
spam etc.


Wayne.

I agree. Just had a quick check through google and I think there was a
_similar_ number of people back then. Maybe slightly more, maybe not,
but definitely not 10x or anything like that.

Well they must all be on holiday or something, then again 1997 was the
last time I spent any significant time here.
